TKAs have the same mitigation as all other melees, it just dosen't hurt tka as much as the others.

Rofl, how the hell is a swordsman a better tank than a TKM with only +20 melee defense

Ya Blizz. Tanking isthe ability to take damage (and/or avoid damage) while holding agro so others can do damage also. Games like EQ have Warriors as the highest end tank (chill all you former pallies & sk's who were made better tanks than warriors on non-defense disc required mobs--I played all 3 classes). The warriors took the most damage, as TKA's do here in SWG.

A key difference between the TKA and other MMO's top tanks is that TKA's can solo very well, whereas in other games, the tanks were a needed support class for groups but lacked soloing ability to a great extent.

SOE keeps trying to push us all to group, but fail because the melee classes in SWG can all solo, and so do not need a group. I wish they'd just accept that most players solo most of the time and let us be.

Also, the player behind the toon makes the character. A good Fencer will out solo many a TKA. For the sake of tanking, I say TKA tends to be best because in most casesa TKA will be able to stand in front of a mob longer than other classes.
